I feel SO RELIEVED since giving him the boot. Always know that this has nothing to do with anything you did or didn't do - it's all about his bull-^^^^!!!!

Jeanette82 is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thank you everyone. Yes, I think using dating sites comes across as very desperate, but each to their own, depending on why they use them. To use them to cheat shows a real determination. My mind is made up and there will be no contact. I have heard it all, every lie and excuse in the book, and felt like I was losing my mind at times. He can have his dating sites. I will not be looking again to see if he`s still on them,(I already know he probably will be).

 He has got that one right, he is not with you now and he`s at liberty to join any dating site that he wants. "But" seeing as it was dating sites that was the cause of your break up, you would think he knew that being active on them would not win you back. I would keep a hundred miles away from that man because nothing about him will ever change.

 Well, he showed his true colors fast didn't he?
Of course he didn't like being called out on his behavior, but on the other hand now you know 100% that he really doesn't give a flying fart about your feelings.

Jeanette82 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThank you. He has been in touch again. I told him what I had seen and he told me it is none of my business as I dumped him. He then told me I am invading his privacy. I reminded him that he had told me his dating suite days are over and I only looked to see if he was telling the truth. He then said if I dont take him back, he will get someone else off the dating site. He is right, it is none of my business and he`s welcome to meet who he wants. I will follow all the advice given.

He is behaving like someone who has a fear of being alone. Dont believe a word he tells you. I would block all contact with him from now on. If you dont he will think he`s still in with a chance.

I think you can rest in the fact that dating sites will be in his life forever. You need to forget he exists. Do not take any of his calls or listen to him again.

 I can cry real tears at the drop of a hat. Does not mean jack squat Jeanette. He doesn’t want to put things right. He WANTS what he WANTS… which is YOU till someone better (in his mind) comes along.
Once he meets “the one” he will drop you like a hot potato. I’m sure he likes you and cares about you but he likes and cares about himself more.
Even if he means it, you don’t trust him and never will.
Best to say good bye and go No Contact and move on with your life.

 What you have to do to get over it is not have any contact with him at all.
He won't leave you alone because he wants to have his cake and eat it too, and he knows that in the past you've listened to him when he's asked for a second chance (thankfully you didn't believe the lies).
I don't know why he's on dating sites. Maybe addicted to the attention he gets?
It's easy to say and harder to do, but move on. Don't waste any more time on him. .

reader, anonymous, writes (23 November 2012): "What the hell is it with him and these dating sites?"
He doesn't want just one woman in his life OP, he wants to keep his options open in case someone better comes along.
"Why will he not leave me alone and accept he cannot have me and the date sites together?"
Because he doesn't have to, if you don't want him to keep this up then you stop him. But you won't you like the attention and hope he won't need any other woman but you. He won't leave you alone because you don't want him to leave you alone, if you did, you'd block him.
"what do I do to get over this?"
Cut all contact, let the whiny little cry baby, find someone on the sites he thinks are more important than you.
"If he wants to put things right then why is he still on a dating site?"
Because he doesn't want to put it right OP, he just wants you back, he simply doesn't like not having you the dating sites aren't enough, but when he does have you you're not enough so he wants his sites too.
Get rid of him OP. Let him go crying to his mammy, real tears mean nothing when he's not willing to give up one meaningless thing to get you back. Says how much you mean to him doesn't it? A website is more important.

I'm sorry. To be honest.. He thinks he can do better. That is why he is still looking. But that he would like to keep you around til that day the "greener grass" is found.
Doesn't mean you aren't good enough, it just means he thinks he can do better and thus keeps looking.
Frankly, you should cut the contact with him 100%. Work on getting over him, because as you can see this behavior will NOT stop, because he doesn't think he is doing anything wrong.
Facts are.. YOU are the one who can do a LOT better.
